Trends and Patterns in S56 Requests
The S56 requests observed today primarily involved routine documentation updates. Common requests included expired medicals for family members, AFP checks, and renewed Police Clearance Certificates. The NT491 case received multiple RFI requests (18 Feb and 24 Mar 2026) before grant. Most S56 requests were resolved within 2-4 weeks, with grants following shortly after compliance. Priority occupations (Registered Nurse, Social Worker, Health Promotion Officer) continued to show faster processing times, with some receiving direct grants without S56 requests. Non-priority occupations experienced longer processing times, particularly those lodged in late 2024 and early 2025.
